Summary0002202: Broken golems display like spire mining enclosures
DescriptionThe tooltips for spire mining enclosures contain both the stats for the enclosure AND the spirecraft it produces. I believe that broken golems should implement a similar system so players can see that stats of a golem BEFORE they capture and resurrect it, so the first time people encounter a new golem type they know what they're getting and can base decisions around it.

Inspired by the "Cursed golem description is poor" thread on the main forum.

As the descriptions for the golems and the broken golems are rather large, some summarizing may need to be done to get both to fit on the same screen. Maybe again take the spirecraft approach, the broken golem description only lists what it needs to become "unbroken" and what it turns into. Let the "real" golem have the actual description of what it does.

Maybe saying something like "Will become a Black Widow Golem when repaired" for the last line in the broken golem's description. But yea something like that.

That was a pretty nice mock-up you did there. :)

Yeah, I'd been wanting to do this, too, just hadn't gotten to it. When I did the spirecraft ones, I planned to do this, too, but then didn't.
